Paranoid Ted: Animal lovers contaminating precious bodily fluids of California Fish & Game
Ted Nugent, in his official “statement” after being convicted of two hunting misdemeanors in California:
“I should have been better informed, more aware and I take full responsibility … The honorable hunting lifestyle is my deepest passion.”
Ted, more recently, as reported on a West Virginia hunting news blog:
“They did a witch-hunt and a during a Gestapo, jack-booted thug raid based on the allegation that my forked horn buck was a spike as spurred on by phone calls from the ‘Ted Haters.'”
California game wardens are “infested” — infiltrated — by interests from animal rights’ groups, Nugent added.
In the blog post, Nugent said he took one for his buddy when pleading to the charges.
Although the report is garbled, it apparently has something to do with a Nugent colleague being found in possession of brass knuckles, Ted intimating he took the fall to make the more serious charge go away.
In California, brass knuckles are outlawed. Possession is a felony.
The legalities are discussed here in a news report relating what happened when Electronic Arts sent out brass knuckles, which were hurriedly recalled, as part of a Godfather game promotion:
In the United States alone, brass knuckles are illegal in at least ten states: Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.
Ted, however, vowed revenge:
“There was a witch-hunt for Ted Nugent, but they’re going to lose. I’m going to get them.”
In the meantime, Ted Nugent’s hunting ban has spread to Kansas:
Rocker Ted Nugent won’t be hunting in Kansas this fall, said Kevin Jones, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks law enforcement chief. Nugent has bowhunted in Kansas several years and has an archery deer permit for the current season … Jones said Kansas’ electronic license system will not permit Nugent to purchase a hunting license online or over-the-counter.
And there is Nugent’s election-eve column in the Washington Times, a very poor man’s Ayn Rand — here.
